Question about Fostering Cats in Illinois (IL)

I know that there are quite a few people on the board from Illinois, and I was hoping someone knew some information for fostering. My mom is coming to visit me in Alaska next month. She will be bringing Jasper with her and leaving him here with me. When she goes home to Illinois, she would like to start fostering cats. I don't know anything about the fostering groups in IL (other than the OES). I was hoping someone might have an idea on any that has a need for foster home for kitties around the Joliet Area.

Any imput is appreciated!

Thank you!

Cool! Honestly, if she contacts *any* rescue or shelter that works with cats and offers to foster they will be elated. There is a huge need for kitten foster homes since they are more likely to get sick in the shelter.

You can contact the Joliet animal care and control and ask them if they have a foster program. Otherwise I would try these and see if Joliet is too far for foster homes:

www.pacthumanesociety.org

There are a ton in Chicago that I can give you names for if she would be interested in driving that far. Good luck!
Sweet. Good Mom.
I've done volunteer work for Adopt-a-Pet which I know is always looking for cat/kitten foster homes. Here's the website:

Thanks for the help. I passed on the information to my mom. She's starting to look into it.
